[2025 The Rocks Restaurant] Travel Guide for MCA Cafe (Updated Jun)

#MayTravelSupport MCA Cafe at Tallawoladah After visiting the Museum of Contemporary Art, I went down to “have a cup of coffee”, but this is… The scenery is art. The Opera House, the harbor, and the sunshine are perfect. I first looked at the view and ate half of it before going back. I ordered an iced latte and a pastry, and the taste was not bad. The price is average for a Sydney cafe, and the seats are spacious, so it was okay to sit for a long time without worrying about others. I even found a power outlet (key information). It was quiet and there were just the right amount of people, so I was able to heal properly, and I was surprised that there was such a hidden healing spot in the middle of a tourist attraction. Highly recommended for a date, a solo cafe, or finishing an art gallery day! Address: Museum of Contemporary Art, 140 George St, The Rocks NSW 2000 Operating Hours: Wed-Sun 10AM–5PM (Closed on Tuesdays)

#MayTravelSupport After visiting the art museum, I was a little hungry, so I naturally came down to the MCA Cafe. It's on the first floor, so anyone can stop by, and above all, the view is crazy. If you sit on the terrace, you can see the Opera House and the ocean at a glance! It's also the best for taking pictures. I ordered a salad and coffee, and although the taste wasn't anything special, it was clean and the amount was okay. Maybe the food tasted better because of the atmosphere... It was quiet and relaxing, so it was perfect for sitting alone. It was really nice because it wasn't too crowded even though it's in the middle of a tourist attraction, and the staff were friendly. Even if you didn't go to the art museum, you'll be satisfied just by coming to this cafe. Address: Museum of Contemporary Art, 140 George St, The Rocks NSW 2000 Operating Hours: Wed 10:00-17:00 / Closed on Tuesdays

#May Travel Support Fund Brunch time right after finishing the tour of the Museum of Contemporary Art! Cafe at Tallawoladah on the first floor of MCA is free to enter and the view is amazing. You can see the Sydney Opera House and the harbor right in front of you, so it's healing just by sitting there. The food was not as bad as I thought, and the chicken sandwich and almond croissant were especially delicious. The coffee was fresh and strong, so I was satisfied! The seats were spacious and there weren't too many people, so it was good for a quiet rest. On a nice day, it's perfect to sit on the outdoor terrace and enjoy the sunshine, and it was the perfect course to enjoy the afterglow after visiting the museum. I'll definitely visit again when I come back to Sydney. Address: Museum of Contemporary Art, 140 George St, The Rocks NSW 2000 Opening hours: Wed-Sun 10:00 - 17:00 (Closed on Tuesdays)

#May Travel Support Fund MCA Cafe at Tallawoladah on the first floor of the Sydney Museum of Contemporary Art was a great route to follow after visiting the museum. Above all, the harbor view outside the window is so wide that it makes you feel good just sitting there. The menu I ordered was an open sandwich and a flat white. The ingredients were fresh and the seasoning wasn't bland, so it was good. The price is average for Sydney. There's plenty of space between tables, so it wasn't noisy, and it's a great atmosphere to come alone. I recommend the outdoor seating on a nice day. It's a great place to take pictures because you can see the Opera House. It felt more comfortable because there seemed to be more locals than tourists. Address: Museum of Contemporary Art, 140 George St, The Rocks NSW 2000 Opening hours: Wed-Sun 10am-5pm / Closed on Tuesdays

#AustraliaFlightEvent There is a brunch cafe in Sydney where you can enjoy all three: an art gallery, coffee, and the Opera House! 📍MCA Cafe I saved this place when I first searched because the terrace view was so pretty, but the terrace is currently operated as a restaurant / You have to use the first floor for the cafe - 📍MCA cafe ✔️Within 5 minutes on foot from Circular Quay ✔️Opera House view from the terrace The Opera House seen from inside the cafe is also really pretty, so you don't have to be disappointed if there are no terrace seats *.* If you look from inside, you can feel like you're looking at a painting. It's easy to access, so I hope you stop by at least once during your trip to Sydney! #SydneyCafe #SydneyRestaurants

#OctoberTravelSupportEvent I visited the MCA cafe, a Brunch cafe with the prettiest view of Sydney, located inside the Sydney Museum of Contemporary Art! This is a cafe with a view that will make you exclaim in awe as soon as you see the entrance. It is famous for its coffee and fish and chips, so I highly recommend ordering them. You should expect to wait!

MCA cafe does the best view in Sydney and amazing menu selection. At night, even more beautiful. The staff are good and the menu is selectively fine with all the cafe essentials on offer including beverages, desserts and meals. I enjoy holding meetings here despite the noisy ambience of the lunch crowd, it really has a great vibe especially on sunny days. Despite the crowds, the lady who was in charge of seating never lost the smile on her face and was very kind. We sat outside on the "breakfast bar" and we had a great time. I would recommend MCA cafe whether it might be breakfast, brunch or lunch. #australiatrip #deliciousfood #coffeelovers #sydney

A cafe where you can have brunch while looking at the Opera House That's MCA Cafe~ ▫️Location: Within 10 minutes walk from Circular Quay Station ▫️QR payment available ▫️Insta: mca_austrlia ✔️Location and photo zone MCA Cafe is located on the 4th floor of the Museum of Modern Art. / After using the cafe, you can go down the stairs and enjoy the artwork~! The store consists of indoor and outdoor seating, and it is quite large, but there is usually a waiting line because it has an opera house view. ㅠㅠ After arriving, wait at the entrance and the staff will guide you. 🩷 There is no Americano in Australia, so I recommend this ‘flat white’🩷 📍MCA Cafe: 4/140 George street, the rocks NSW 2000 Circular Quay Station ⏰ Operating hours: 10am-4pm Closed every Tuesday Extended business hours every Friday 10am-8:45pm #OverseasFlightEvent #Sydney
